WELCOME​to the Channel Islands Bicycle Club (CIBC), a recreational bike club founded in 1990 by Ed & Udas Young to bring together smart, safe, good-looking and passionate cycling buddies.

We have great, year-round riding out of Ventura, Moorpark, and Ojai with varying terrain and scenery along the coast and in the nearby hills. With over two hundred and fifty members of all abilities, this club is a great place to learn about cycling from some of the most experienced riders in Ventura County. You can be our guest on any ride; please check out our Club Ride Calendar. You may also attend our monthly meeting (date/time on ride calendar) where experts on various topics share their knowledge. More info on our Activities page.

We host the Cool Breeze Century each August. Since 1993, this event has grown to over 1800 riders and with 150 volunteers helping it allows us to promote safe cycling in Ventura County and beyond.​Ride with us and see what a great experience it can be! You’ll have fun, reduce your carbon footprint, your car expenses, your stress and your waistline by riding your bike. So, dust it off, pump the tires, lube the chain, and get yourself off the couch for some heart-healthy Fun. See us in action in our Gallery and on Facebook!

Year-Rounder Program

The Year Rounder challenge for 2016 will be changed. This year we are asking all club members to reset their odometers on January 1. We'd then like you to send your mileages in and we will tabulate your monthly total. Regardless of how many miles you ride we ask you to send in your odometer reading. We will then pull a name on a monthly basis from those who do and you will receive a small prize. If you do a ride of 62 miles or more in the month you will be added to our group of consistency riders who get a prize at the end of the year. Let's see how many miles we as a club can ride! Happy riding! (More details on our Rides page.) Send your mileages to Linda at bebotts@hotmail.com
